Work with Jonathan the Tutor!

Children and adults alike struggle with test anxiety—but it doesn't need to be that way! Improving one's score on a test not only means being familiar with the subject material, but it also requires the right pacing, problem-solving strategies, and test-taking skills. In 10 years as a professional tutor, Jonathan the Tutor has helped more than 600 students prepare for the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, GED, and GRE.

Our daughter’s PSAT was 1200 and her final SAT test score was 1340, which exceeded our expectations! We are very grateful to Jonathan for his hard work, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to other families that are looking for an exceptional SAT/ACT tutor.

About me

I’m Jonathan Reidenouer, B.S., M.Ed.

Fifteen years of teaching and tutoring have taught me many things, but one of the most important is this: few people are capable of self-teaching.

Many will attempt it, but they struggle with assimilating and integrating the information they read. Even when prepackaged videos are available, plenty of folks still find they’re just not grasping the concepts the way they had hoped. As they read and listen, they find themselves filled with questions about the material—questions that go unanswered.

As an experienced tutor, I answer those questions. For those prepping for tests, I provide the coaching that fills in the gaps left by self-guided preparation.

Coaching goes beyond just guidance and instruction, though. It also includes support in the form of encouragement and feedback. A test-prep coach can answer questions right away, thus enabling the client to move forward in their preparation. A coach is a teacher and a tutor, but a coach should also be someone the client can lean on throughout the prep process.

Praise from previous clients

  • Lisa, 8 lessons with Jonathan

    Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

    Jonathan helped with how to read the questions and sift through the answers. He helped with test taking strategies and identifying areas that need to be improved and how to improve them.

  • Kaori, 50 lessons with Jonathan

    My child has seen Jonathan once a week for Advanced Math & AP Calc AB. She liked his teaching from the first lesson and has trusted his guidance ever since.

    On top of his knowledge on topic and tutoring technique, his personality shines. He seems to really care about his students, and it’s shown in top-notch communication. Now my child likes studying math.

  • Kris, 2 lessons with Jonathan

    Jonathan is fantastic. He met with my child, who is writing college application essays for a summer program -- it's a first for our family, and we were not sure where to begin.

    Jonathan expertly guided my teen through the process, made helpful suggestions for formulating their essays. His energy made them feel inspired and excited about a process that commonly feels daunting. I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough.
